The MetroWest Daily News is an American daily newspaper published in Framingham, Massachusetts, serving the MetroWest region of suburban Boston. It is the flagship newspaper of Community Newspaper Company, a division of GateHouse Media.
The newspaper covers several cities and towns in Norfolk and Worcester counties, but until 1998 it was named for Middlesex County (most recently as the Middlesex News) or for the town of Framingham (through most of the mid-20th century, as the Framingham News).
Originally a locally owned evening newspaper, the News was purchased by the Harte-Hanks newspaper chain as its first foray into Massachusetts journalism, in 1972.
By 1986, the paper sold 49,000 copies daily and 55,000 on Sunday, and also published four Framingham-area weekly newspapers: the Town Crier papers in Sudbury, Wayland and Weston, and the Townsman in Wellesley. That year, Harte-Hanks added the Daily Transcript of Dedham and the News-Tribune of Waltham, and 17 weeklies, to its holdings, and merged its Massachusetts properties into a single organization that became known as News-Transcript Group.
